Then the pulp was analyzed for proximate composition. Lychee pulpy drinks were prepared, analyzed the changes of TSS (Total soluble solid), acidity, pH, viscosity and gas volume and compared with carbonated lychee pulpy drinks and carbonated lychee drinks. Products were stored at room temperatures in PET (polyethylene terephthelate) bottles and changes during storage were observed at an interval of 1 month for a period of 7 months. A testing panel consisting 14 panelists studied the acceptability of the samples.
